re: What Happened to Offensive Tempo?

I really do not understand why we were letting the play clock get all the way down to ~3sec every play. It made everything seem rushed and took us out of rhythm.

Hesitation by a first time OC in calling a play, or maybe just diagnosing the defense. Don't run tempo because we only had one reliable, knowledgeable running back last week. Also , we were shuttling WRs in and out constantly to give lost of playing time. And maybe most of all, small number of OL that were playing, often in positions taht were not their primary.
I think you will see more of it as these issues resolve, especially with better and quicker command by Max

UCLA was running a lot of exotic fronts/blitzes that (I think admittedly) somewhat surprised LSU. That, coupled with a young/inexperienced QB, forced them to take more time/look to the sideline to try to figure things out.
We can talk about the 2019 concepts all we want. But there is a BIG difference between a 5th year QB running that offense and a guy making his 3rd ever start and first in front of a visiting crowd where he was having to deal with noise for the first time.
In hindsight could LSU have gone more uptempo? Maybe. But I think they were more focused on making sure they got things right rather than going fast with a lot of uncertainty. Yeah, we are all blaming LSU's coaches. But credit UCLA as well. They had a good plan.

We also hiked it on the first clap on almost every play. This lets the defense tee off
